Awesome wm font size too huge?

toonaero · 2015-01-03 01:24:49

Hey everyone!Im posting here because ive recently started using the wm awesome. However when I tried changing the default font in the theme.lua file to lemons(font name) the font size was displayed at at least ~20. Im currently stuck in figuring out how to change the size. Every read all the docs for awesome but cant seem to find anything(possibly keep skipping over it by accident). Any help would be appreciated. If pics or code is required ill be more than happy to post them.

What fonts do you have installed? Maybe this is a substitue font and not the actual font you are requesting.

I've only installed two fonts which were lemon and uushi however when trying both of them the same font size was used. The font size though that was originally used in the theme.lua file sans 8 seems to display at the perfect 6 size font.

What font packages contain those fonts? The font cache has to be filled to make those fonts appear.

They're manually insalled fonts. However fc-cache -vf was used when installing them.

Do they show up with something like fc-list? It might not even be in the system cache.

mhm they show up. Overall the fonts lemon and uushi are used and displayed but what I cant seem to figure out is why they are being displayed at a size 20(although it might be 32)

Can you actually use the fonts from say a word-processor?

Yup and they display at a font size of 9px. I got curious as to what would happen if I tried a different font and installed a font package and it turns out this is happening with every font besides sans 8 so its probably something with the lua file sadly cant figure it out and cant find any awesome wm fourms to ask this question specifically sorry for the bother.

Maybe something to ask upstream. I haven't changed the fonts that are default in awesome, so I can't give any mileage on it. Just figured it might be fonts cache, but it does sound like something odd that lua is doing with it.
